Teperatures in the hot and dry desert exhibit daily extreams because the atmosphere contains little humidity to block the suns rays.
Aunual Temperature: 20-25 degrees C.
Extreame Temperature: 43.5-49 degrees C.
Minimum Temperature: -18 degrees C.
Rainfall is very low and/or concentrated in short burts between long rainless periods. Sometimes rain starts falling and evaporates before reaching the ground.
